Racers Place – Deep Roots in Motorsport

Racers Place has long been a cornerstone of Finnish motorsport and performance car culture. The company’s origins date back to the early 2000s, when it operated under the name ML-Racers Place. From the very beginning, the focus was on high-quality engine components like ARP bolts and precision machining services such as crankshaft balancing.

Racers Place quickly became a trusted partner for hot rod builders, race car enthusiasts, and technically savvy customers. The product range was never just shelf stock – every part was carefully selected, and customers were guided toward the right solutions for their specific projects.

Brand Transition and Continuity

In 2018, operations transitioned under a new name as Laukkanen Motorsport took the lead. While the Racers Place name was no longer actively used, its legacy continued seamlessly. The same equipment, expertise, and customer base carried over, and the new brand maintained its commitment to technically demanding parts and services.

Rebirth in 2025

In 2025, the Racers Place name was revived – not out of nostalgia, but because it best represents the company’s current identity. This relaunch wasn’t just a rebranding; it was a return to roots: expert-driven, technically deep, and customer-focused operations that bridge history and modern needs.

Today, Racers Place operates as a webshop, technical knowledge base, and development platform. The site offers a wide range of motorsport and performance car parts, along with in-depth documentation, fitment guides, and calculators. The company places special emphasis on American platforms.

Vision – Smart, Selective, and Responsible

The world of motorsport and performance cars is vast – and so is the parts market. Over the years, the number of specialty components has grown to a scale that makes full inventory storage impossible, not just in Finland, but across Europe. At Racers Place, we recognize this reality and build our operations around it.

That’s why we stock only a carefully selected portion of available products. The rest are handled via special order from a catalog of over 100,000 items, covering engines, transmissions, suspension, and more. This model isn’t a compromise – it’s a strength. It enables flexible, customer-driven service with deep technical insight, where every part is delivered with purpose and precision.

We’re proud to offer such a wide selection without unnecessary warehousing or wasteful investment. At the same time, we remain humble in the face of how complex and demanding this field truly is. Our mission is to make it understandable and accessible – one part, one project, one solution at a time.

The Road Ahead

Racers Place continues to grow as a technical leader. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and user-friendly online platform for motorsport and performance car parts. New calculators, fitment tools, and interactive resources are released regularly – in both Finnish and English.
